Tombong Saidy finally fired

Bora Mboge takes over as director general

Mr Bora Mboge, manager of TV programmes has taken over as acting director
general, while Neneh Macdoll, principal producer in charge of the
documentary department of GRTS was appointed manager of TV programmes,
replacing Mr Bora Mboge.

According to sources, Mr Saidy’s termination letter was hand delivered to
him on Friday, November 2 at the GRTS offices along Kairaba Avenue. Although
no official reasons were forwarded for Mr Saidy’s removal, impeccable
sources from within GRTS told the Daily Observer that his sacking could be
attributed to a combination of factors, including what some described as
abuse of office.

It could be recalled Mr Saidy’s dismissal was rumoured in the recent past,
citing amongst other reasons his concentration on his personal business at
the expense of official duty, administrative incompetence and high
handedness. His use of public funds in the name of generating more revenue
for GRTS, had resulted in great financial loses to the institution. These
include the Fadam -Tyson wrestling contest staged by the GRTS last year and
the seemingly never-ending Pajero raffle.
